Can I register a DNS or .eth name through the ENS App?
.eth names: Can be registered directly through ENS App.
DNS names: Cannot be registered via ENS App, but can be linked/used if owned beforehand.
Registering .eth Domains
ENS allows you to register .eth domains directly through its official platform. These domains are native to ENS and are designed specifically for use across the all blockchain ecosystems. They serve as decentralized, human-readable names that simplify crypto addresses, identification and other blockchain-related activities.
Using DNS Domains with ENS
While ENS does not support direct registration of new DNS domains (such as .com, .org, or others), it does provide integration options for existing DNS domains. If you already own a DNS domain, you can use that as your ENS name. This involves linking the DNS domain to the ENS protocol, allowing you to leverage ENS functionalities for a DNS name you registered elsewhere. So, while new DNS domains cannot be acquired via ENS, existing ones can be incorporated into the ENS ecosystem to much the same effect.
